[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure many of these posts are meant to discourage others from applying. Dartmouth is an almost impossible admission from the DMV and has one is the 4th highest yield rates of the Ivies, essentially tied with Yale for 3rd. From my kid's private alone there are 7 kids who submitted an ED for 2026 and if past precedent is held, likely one will be admitted.

My non-drinker is very happy. They drank some in high school, decided it wasn't for them and now has a whole crowd of friends like them at Dartmouth.

If your kid is seriously interested in the school, find someone in real life and ask them frankly about their kids' experience. Better yet, have your kid ask a peer. There are plenty around the DMV. I know my kid would be happy to talk and won't hold back on the good, bad, and any ugly.

I am the poster of the "common denominator" reply and I stand by it. I am not trying to discourage applications - if you read my post, I say to just go in with eyes wide open, and do the research. When it comes to fraternities, 100% there are certain kids who will be more vulnerable to abuse. This does not mean I think Dartmouth is a bad school for every kid - my dd's best friend, a queer music prodigy, ED'd there. I very much doubt she is hanging out at fraternity parties, though.[/quote]
